Wrap tank with Embroidery

Description

This was a very interesting pattern to me, and I needed a new challenge..
I have used stretch denim and red cotton. I had to wash the fabric before sewing to avoid discoloration next time I wash it.
I decided to use red piping for the pocket flaps and red fabric for the welt pockets as well, and I think it was a good choice together with the embroidery. I made some flowers with 3-times stitches and cut away the denim fabric so that the red fabric shows. I have used this technic before on another project; www.burdastyle.com/projects/top-and-trousers
The skirt is made of crinkle cotton and I have only made a tube with rubber band in the waist. I think it’s a great summer outfit :)

Just had a look at the pattern and saw the “already-made” projects based on this pattern. Your version is the best! It’s so flattering on you :D!

Worn with a high-skirt is the best way – I think. Otherwise you need to wear sth. underneats or you show your belly. The red embroidery matched with your red skirt, looks like a dress! I think, that’s the point why I can only make thumbs up for your version and style! :D

Lovely creation. LOVE the embroidery , it really makes it much more interesting. It falters you much and you seem very comfortable in it. I didn’t like this pattern but what you did with it totally changed my mind.

Wonderful interpretation, Ellen. I surely had doubts as for this pattern but as it happened several times before, your work dispelled all of them. Your outfit deserves to be in the magazine much more than that one they put there. I’m not tired to be surprised with your creativity. Just excellent!

I have been dreaming of making this since I first saw it on the web page. You have taken the concept to a new level with the embroidery. Wow. A very nice creative stroke of ingenuity – and beautifully executed. Thanks very much for posting!
